The Gardens Race 8 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge
SPARKY KEY (8) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a 2 length second (23.43) behind Golden Pharaoh at this track. Expected to feature in the finish again. POCKET POINT (1) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Hit the frame latest (23.38) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. SPEED DIAL (7) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh at Gosford, but was among the placings at this track three back. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Has the ability and can find best this time. TOXIC LABEL (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.
